The top 10 rookies in the Suns’ trial! The Rockets are not in a hurry at all, and KD’s next home is getting brighter and brighter

On June 1, according to NBA reporter Stein, the Suns tried out some 2025 rookies today, including some lottery picks. It is worth mentioning that the Suns only have one first-round pick with the 29th pick in the first round this summer, unless they get a lottery pick through a trade. The Rockets have the right to swap the first round in 2025, and the Suns' original signing was the No. 10 pick. In addition, Stein revealed that the Suns will use Booker as the core of the team in the future. In addition, the Rockets will not send Jaylen Green to the Suns in exchange for Booker. So, if the Suns want to get the first round of a lottery zone this summer, they can only get it by trading Durant.

Judging from the current news, the Mavericks, Spurs and Hornets, who have the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4, will definitely not trade their own draft picks. In addition, the Jazz, Wizards, Pelicans, Nets and Raptors, who are ranked 5th to 9th, are interested in trading their first-round picks upwards. As for the Rockets, who have the 10th pick, they hope to exchange this first round pick for immediate combat power or future first round picks. Unless the Suns can get some young players in the deal to send Durant away, the Suns can't avoid the Rockets' deal with any team, because the Rockets also have unprotected first-round picks for the Suns in 2027 and 2029.

The same problem also exists in the Nets. The Nets only won the No. 8 pick in the first round this year. They also have their own first-round picks for 2026, but the Nets' first-round swap rights in 2027 are in the Rockets' hands. If the Nets do not return to the playoffs within two years, then the Nets' signing position in 2027 is likely to be in the top 10 picks. Therefore, the Nets' first round swap rights in the Rockets in 2027 are also very valuable. In general, teams interested in Durant include the Spurs, Rockets, Heat, Timberwolves, etc. Currently, only the Spurs have the ability to provide young people and first-round picks for the Suns.
